Stolen from the rant, but Fowler, who is a slightly above average college PBP guy at best, in either his ego move or ESPN forcing Mussberger out for dumbass reasons, simultaneously ruined or hindered the network's 3 biggest cfb properties.

College Gameday was significantly brought down by the switch to Davis as host, College Fottball Final is not even on the map anymore due to the Davis move, and the Saturday night broadcast went down a lot by their shuttering off of Mussberger.

Again, How did John Skipper even have a job?

Fowler is a huge upgrade over Mussberger in the booth. Davis is fine as his replacement; not much of a down tick there

Skipper was forced out btw. Not there anymore

Musburger needed to go. Listen to a Raiders radio clip...yikes.

I do miss Fowler on Gameday though.

Musberger is 80 years old and was declining. It was time.

I honestly don't know why so many complain about announcers.

As long as the announcer isn't going out of his way to be obnoxious, I'm usually focused on the game.

Yes a good one can enhance the viewing experience, but just be neutral (which the majority are) and I'm fine.

Reece is extremely anti-LSU and it shows. Would take Fowler back in a second.

He exposed himself during the Devin White targeting thing last year. Everyone on Gameday backed White and said it was bullshite but Reece doubled down arguing and actually got mad on the air that anyone would disagree with him.

I miss Davis, Holtz, and May on College Football Final. It hasn’t been the same since.

Reece Davis is a tool. I don’t watch college gameday because that show really does suck. It’s a shell of what it used to be. Fowler was legit on it. Herbie used to be the only homer on the show. Now the only guy who is not a homer is the guy who has a stroke and has to be fed lines.
